Sharing the Right Data Right: A
Symbiosis with Machine LearningSotirios A. Tsaftaris and Hanno
Scharr,
In 2014 plant phenotyping research was not benefiting from the
machine learning (ML) revolution because appropriate data were lacking. We
report the success of the first open-access dataset suitable for ML in
image-based plant phenotyping suitable for machine
learning, fuelling a true interdisciplinary symbiosis, increased
awareness, and steep performance improvements on key phenotyping
tasks.
